Hello,

ubuntu 12.10 on an acer aspire 7736z.

I have been using sbackup to back up each month.  I did a full back up about 3 months ago (resulting in a .ful folder), and since then had automatic simple backups (resulting in a .inc folder).  I have recently done another full backup.  The size of the files produced by the previous full backup, and subsequent simple backups, was about 16Gb.  The most recent full backup produced files of about 32Gb.  My computer usage has not changed greatly recently.  I have not altered the configuration file settings.  There are 2 copies of both Simple Backup-Configuration and Simple Backup-Restoration on my dash.  Any suggestions as to the cause of the unexpected increase in backup file size, or how I might find out what has caused this?

Thanks,

Roger
